Ground Beef Instant Pot Tacos
Easy and ultra-flavorful ground beef tacos made in the Instant Pot!
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup pico de gallo or regular salsa
- 4 ounce can green chilies I usually use mild
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For serving:
- tortillas or taco shells
- diced tomatoes
- shredded lettuce
- grated Mexican cheese
Instructions
- Turn the Instant Pot to its sauté function and add the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking up the meat, until mostly browned.
- Stir in the salsa, chilies, taco seasoning, and salt. Close and seal the Instant Pot, and cook for 7 minutes on manual/high pressure.
- When finished, use the quick release function to vent the steam, then open the lid and stir well. Return the Instant Pot to sauté for an extra 1-2 minutes, stirring well. (This helps the meat soak up the remaining sauce.)
- Spoon meat into tortillas or shells and top as desired. Enjoy!

Notes
- The estimated cook time of 20 minutes includes at least 10 minutes for your Instant Pot to come to pressure and release. The actual pressure cooking time is 7 minutes.
- Homemade taco seasoning is the best, and so easy to make in bulk! Try this recipe, you’ll never look back!
- I usually use store-bought pico de gallo for this, although homemade pico would also be incredible! You can also sub any salsa of your choice.
- Any leftover meat will keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days, or can be frozen for 2-3 months.
